Investment Risks (VaR)



Calculating Value at Risk (VaR) helps investors find out how much they can potentially lose as a result of financial speculations within a given investment portfolio. The purpose of this VaR calculator is to make determining VaR a quick and easy process. To familiarize yourself with the calculator, just follow these 3 steps:

Step 1. Select the instruments, which will make up your investment portfolio. To include an instrument in the portfolio, click on it, enter an appropriate number of lots and then click on "Include Item". To cancel your selection, click on the selected item in the portfolio and then click on "Remove Item".

Step 2. Click on "VaR calculator". Once it has opened, select a currency for investment portfolio, set up confidence level, select the time period for your calculation ("Time Step" and "Number of Intervals"). Finally, select the time for which the forecast will be valid. Then click on "Submit" to see the results.

Step 3. If you lack the instrument you need for your investment portfolio, click on "Quote Manager" to get one from there.
